Question

Would I have both of 1h together since the 15.3 is on the opposite side of the= sign

Answer 1

The equation is an algebraic equation with variables on both sides.

Given:

`15.3+1h=1.3-1h`

To solve for the unknown, we collect the like terms;

`\begin{gathered} 1h+1h=1.3-15.3 \\ 2h=-14 \\ \text{Dividing both sides by 2,} \\ h=-(14)/(2) \\ h=-7 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of h is -7
